Penseés is a collection of
philosohical fragments, notes and essays in which Pascal explores
the contradictions of human nature in pscyhological, social,
metaphysical and - above all - theological terms. Mankind emerges
from Pascal's analysis as a wretched and desolate creature within
an impersonal universe, but who can be transformed through faith in
God's grace.
